How this list was compiled: Items made on 2026-10-01; ids, points and accepted spellings are Natural Earth's. The page asks Croatia, the Adriatic Sea, the Sava, the Danube and Zagreb; the five neighbors, and Italy, Austria and Albania where the map holds them, are in the list so that the page can draw them as land that is not asked. Zagreb carries its number on its dot: the ring the points file gives it is left out, because a blank sheet would print the ring's leader line. The nine country names were compared on 2026-10-01 with the United Nations list of member states (https://www.un.org/en/about-us/member-states); https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croatia names the five land neighbors, Italy, the Adriatic Sea and Zagreb, the European Union's Adriatic and Ionian strategy page lists Italy and Albania, and the Danube Commission lists Austria. Zagreb as the capital also on the European Union's page for the country (https://european-union.europa.eu/principles-countries-history/eu-countries/croatia_en) and at Croatia's Ministry of Justice, Public Administration and Digital Transformation (https://mpudt.gov.hr, list of counties, cities and municipalities); the Adriatic Sea, with Croatia among the countries around it, also at the European Union's strategy for the Adriatic and Ionian region (https://www.adriatic-ionian.eu/about-eusair/); the Sava also at the International Sava River Basin Commission (https://www.savacommission.org) and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sava; the Danube also at the Danube Commission (https://www.danubecommission.org). The first-level units of the source were not used: on 2026-10-01 the admin-1 shapes of Natural Earth 5.1.2 were measured against the county areas published today and several do not match, so no line is drawn inside the country.

What the map draws

Slovenia is to the northwest, Hungary to the northeast and Serbia to the east. Bosnia and Herzegovina fills the inside of the crescent, and Montenegro lies past the southern tip. The neighbors, and Italy across the Adriatic Sea, are drawn lightly, without numbers. Croatia has 20 counties and the City of Zagreb, but the public-domain map source's county lines do not match today's, so the inside of the country is left empty.

  • The dot is Zagreb. It sits on the Sava, the river that then runs along the border with Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Questions and answers

Which countries border Croatia?

Five: Slovenia, Hungary, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro. Italy is a neighbor across the Adriatic Sea. On this map all of them are drawn lightly, without numbers.

What is the capital of Croatia?

Zagreb, in the north of the country. On this map it is the dot on the Sava river.

Why is the south of Croatia cut off from the rest?

Bosnia and Herzegovina reaches the sea at Neum, so a short strip of its coast lies between the far south of Croatia and the rest of the country. On this map the gap is a small break in the coast, near the southern tip.

Are any borders on this map disputed?

Some borders on this map are disputed. The map follows Natural Earth, a public-domain map source, and does not take a side. One such stretch is the border between Croatia and Serbia along the Danube.
